PANalytical and Malvern celebrate US office opening
07 July 2008 On 23 May 2008, the PANalytical and Malvern Instruments US
teams celebrated the opening of their new headquarters. The sister companies now
share state of the art facilities in Westborough, MA.
Gjalt Kuiperes and Brian Dutko, general managers of PANalytical and Malvern’s US
companies respectively, led the day of celebrations following the ribbon cutting
ceremony. The expansion into the new premises comes at a time of sustained
business growth for both companies.
“As well as growing our business across the Americas, we have consolidated
former east and west coast sites and have relocated our warehouse to
Westborough,” said Peter van Velzen, managing director of PANalytical.
“Importantly, the move has also given us the freedom to expand our application
laboratories. These now include a cleanroom for wafer analyzers, a sample prep
room, and large application labs for XRD and XRF. As well as PANalytical’s
extensive range of X-ray analysis products, in the labs there is an optical
emission spectrometer from OBLF, for which PANalytical is the exclusive
distributor in the USA and Brazil. With more spacious training facilities we can
now offer a greater number of in-house courses to our customers.”
Malvern has similarly expanded its applications and training facilities.
Managing director Paul Walker commented: “This move reflects the continued
growth and success of the company, and also the expansion of the business in
recent years to encompass a broadening range of technologies and instrumentation
for materials characterization. These new premises provide the infrastructure
and facilities to underpin our future.”
Cutting the ribbon was John O’Higgins, chief executive of parent company
Spectris plc. Alongside were Jim Webster, business group director at Spectris
with Peter van Velzen, managing director of PANalytical (Almelo, The
Netherlands) and Paul Walker, managing director of Malvern Instruments (Malvern,
UK).
